Las Vegas, Nevada – October 11, 2018

The retrofit SmartTOP comfort module, made by Mods4cars, facilitates the everyday cabriolet life with smart functions. Among other things, it enables the convertible top to be opened and closed via the existing vehicle key from a distance. The SmartTOP customer can already open their convertible top as they move towards their vehicle.

In addition to this function, the module for the Porsche 911 Targa (991) also offers the option of opening and closing the top using the interior button in the vehicle with just one push of a button. With the latest update, it is now also possible to operate the top while driving at a speed of up to 15 km/h.

„We are constantly improving our products and responding to customer requests,“ explains PR spokesman Sven Tornow. „We are pleased that we have been able to expand the SmartTOP convertible top control for the Porsche 911 Targa (991) with this coveted function to make the cabriolet experience even more convenient for our customers.“ Sven Tornow continues.

In addition to these two main features, per customer request, we have also added another new feature to the module. With Valet Mode, a simple key combination can block the
opening of the cabriolet top. This feature is useful when the vehicle is being used by a third party or handed over for parking.

Existing customers can also benefit from the new features. SmartTOP Cabriolet modules are equipped with a USB port, enabling software updates to be uploaded via the home PC/Mac. Mods4cars provides these updates on their Homepage to all their existing customers, free of charge.

For easy installation, a plug-and-play adapter kit is included in delivery. This ensures for a fast connection between SmartTOP and vehicle electronics by simply plugging together. No cables need to be cut or changed and dismantling without a trace is possible at any time.

The SmartTOP module for the new Porsche 911 Targa (991) is available for 339.00 Euro + tax. SmartTOP convertible top controls are also available for the Porsche Boxster and the Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet.

Mods4cars was founded in 2002 from the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.

As of now, the retrofit SmartTOP convertible top control from the company Mods4cars is available for the Ford Mustang Cabriolet. It allows the top to be opened and closed while driving with One-Touch.
